I wrote my 'BAG' compression software for CP/M with it, using the LZH-algorithm, ported LZH uncompression named 'UnYoshi', and ported UNZIP, those from MS/DOS. It was not easy, as the BDS-C compiler did not have 'overlay' -technogy, had to implement my own. Also wrote a VT-100 emulator, but that did not succeed, no matter how much assembly I added to it, it was sluggish. Nokia's own VT-52 terminal was super fast, and I never could get there. There was no VT-100 for MikroMikko available :( The BBS-systems on MS-DOS era needed one, though. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.
